I do alot of Celtic stuff and am always looking for nice designs. I don't do anything high volume, so please don't think I'm going to put it on bunches of stuff...just once in a while someone might ask for a thistle pattern. Thanks a million. I love your celtic work! I have some designs that you might like. Message me if you want to check them out. Quote
Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted December 9, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted December 9, 2008 Very nice, and welcome home! The leather complements the hilt very nicely. You did good.... now you have set the bar.... Thats one of the little things we dont tell noobs... if you set the bar high your first time out... thats what we expect from now on... Thats why I only post pix of my bad stuff... LOL Was this made for yourself?

Members twinklestarchild Posted January 4, 2009 Members Report Posted January 4, 2009 This reminded me of Braveheart... the girl hands little Gibson a thistle after his dad died. Very cool work, especially for a first piece, top rate! Quote

Dags3777 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 You have a nack, my friend. Darryl Quote When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised God doesn't work that way, so I stole one and prayed for forgiveness.
Members MaddCelt Posted January 4, 2009 Members Report Posted January 4, 2009 Excellent work! I'll have to share this post with my brothers in the Brotherhood of the Kilt! I look forward to seeing your sporran work. Quote
rhall Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Nice work clean design,Rounding and Burnishing the edges with Gum Trag will give it a more finished look.The dyed background would also kick butt! Quote
